One Of the Best Things Out.

With the advent OF the New Year there al
ways comes TO the desk of the editor something
new, useful or unique in the shape Of some in
vention or discovery, or something which will
amuse and divert while IL conveys instruction.
OF such a character is the sterling novelty
which lies before us in the shape OF Counter
Wrapper-Pad (l2 81 inchesl, for the counter
use Of druggists and dealers in medicine
CHANGING at the sheets which TO a large num-
Der are adhesively Joined at one end, we find
they comprise humorous sketches from the
rich and racy pens of Bill Nye" and other
talented and well known funny men," finely
illustrated in the broadcast style OF the comic
art. At once the design is manifest and most
pleasing. One can imagine with what facility
and pleasure dealer eau handle such an orna-
ment TO his counter, while at the same time IL
must give delight 10 his customers, free Of all
expense TO himself As q wrapper to parcel
each bears in graceful lettering his name and
place Of business. 1t is hardly necessary 10 add
that il is gotten out by The Charles A. Vogeler
Company, Baltimore Md, and is being dis
tributed freely to their patrons In trade. Ii is
another proof OF the well-earned reputation of
the remedies manufactured by that house and
another OF its ingenious methods Of spreading
the story Of the wonderful cures wrought by
st. Jacobs Oil. In verse and alliteratod lines
another story 10 told of an equally famous and
eficacious remedy-Red Star Cough Cure
which has been shown by the analyses Of the
most distinguished chemists TO be free from
opiates and p0isons; the cost of which is only
twenty five cents. The pad will doubtless be
very much in demand aud rs Ii deserves should
justly become most popular as one OF the best
things out.

said was a severe attack of rheumatism, when
in fact, the General said, he was troubled with
a disease Of the kidneys Ii now turns out that
he was frequently troubled with this complaint,

skillful surgeons who attended the General
during his fatal illness, it was moro likely dis
ease of the kidneys which caused the Generals
death than rheumatism.
AT CALUMET PLACE.
The last work that Gen. Logan did was TO
dictate letter TO his wife for c. J.. Webster &
Co, the publishers. The matter was one that
required prompt attention, and he was too Ill
to write the letter himself. Mrs. Logan wrote
for him at his dictatiOn, but when he tried to
sign his name he could not do il and she signed
her own.
Gen. Logan had Just finished new book
called the Volunteer Soldier" which he was
making ready to publish when he was stricken
down by disease. He put an unusually amount
Of hard work into it and it is believed to be a
book Of much more than ordinary merit.
Mrs Logan is making brave effort TO rally
under the terrible shock, and her friends are
seeking TO divert her mind and raise her in
terest in her own occupations. She was always
foremost in charitable work in Washington,
and the Garfield Hospital, one OF the noblest
of charities, is largely her creation. 1t looks
now as if il would be the means OF aiding
her to bear her bereavement by the demands it
makes upon her attention.
Calumet Place is truly house Of mourning.
Mrs. Logan is able TO see but few visitors, and.
Of course, all that these can speak about is the
dead General, and their errand is simply
TO bring what comfort and sympathy they can
10 his widow. Every day she drives TO the
Rock Creek Cemetery, where her husband is
laid. Her present intention is TO go to Chicago
about the middle of next month 10 attend to
some business matters there, and il is presumed
that she will then decide where the permanent
place Of burial is to be.

Division street was reached, when she ST gnaled

needy of the war and the destitute widows and or
phans left to and protection, we find too
seldom among public men those who can, like
yourself divest applications Of all political as
pect and view them in their sole legal or charita-
bic light. The claim of the ex-soder for employ
ment rests solely upon his record of honorable
service for his country his fitness for the employ
ment asked his physical disability and his need
but many insist upon considering his partisan po-
ltical service. IL has been a pleasure to US to find
In you one who has defended the Union sol
diers' claim, under the law. to preferment in ap-
pointment. and who has put even the most liberal
construction of that law upon the case in point
and this without exceeding in any way the pro
visions OF the law. We pleased to tender you
in behalf OF this committee, sincerest thanks for
many favors and eourtesieS shown us. and to
heartily wish you the highest success in life.
In Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.

INV YoRK, March 15.-It is generally be-
heVed on Wall street that the control Of the
Baltimore q Ohio has passed into the hands
Of a syndicate. The story current among
parties here "a generally accepted as good
authority.
Gould has acquired a quarter interest in
the syndicate and has paid 81, 400, OOOin cash
on the agreement Russell Sage Is also
named as a member OF the syndicate. Ac-
CordIng to the reports, the Western Union
takes the Baltimore d Ohio telegraph line;
DlnsmOre takes the express business for the
Adams Express company, and the P5nnsyl-
vania railroad takes the road. The details
are said to have been arranged last night.
Nothing could be learned tonight Of the
result Of the Sully-Sage conference, but 1t Is
generally believed that the floating rumOrs
are IN the main correct and that the nrst
payment for the control of the Baltimore &
Ohio stock has been subscribed. Mr.. Buliy
was repeatedly questioned In regard
to the meeting but refused to give
any information and would not even
admit that he had been present at
the conference. The reports affected the
stock market fsvOrablY, and the majority Of
the operators believe that an agreement Of
SONS kind has been concluded.
Nearly all interest IN the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad deal has died out here, and
while the impression is general that q deal
has been made there is a disposition to wait
patiently uUtl it is authoritatiyeiy an
nOunced.
Mr.. Garrett was in his Office to-day, and
vas in a very happy mood, but would say
nothing.

creditors claims, amounting to S 245, 0G0 It

fraud his creditors and that he has disposed
Of his property and taken a large amount of
money with him. LaWtOn was director In

ted with 100000 IN notes to discount
for the company, On March 18th Law
ton Is said 70 have abscOnded with
the proceeds Of the discounted notes. The
disappearance Of LaWtOn has created
great deal OF apprehension, and IL Is gener-
ally believed be is bankrupt. He left the
office on Tuesday afternoon as usual to 90
home and has not been seen since. The
amount of his liabilities Is estimated at
bout 81, 100000. Rufus i. Kirkland, Law
toms cashier states that Tuesday LaWton
withdrew all his funds from the different
banks IN which he had deposited them and
took the money with him. He destroyed ali
the stubs Of checks and papers of every kind
from which any information could be Sc
cured as to his disposition of the funds and
property. Joseph D. Jones placed in Law
toms care Tuesday on behalf of the
company $4,000. This is also gone.
Kirkland states that on Tuesday he had an
interview with LaWtOn at Broadway and
TO go with him to the offices of the Third
national bank and introduce him. This be
did.
LaWton also asked him 70 obtain blank

tate in New Jesrey, and to meet him at
New York hotel. He met LaWtOn there with
a blank deed and both went to the GRAM
Central depot. LAYTON told Kirkland that
he intended to leave the city by the train;
that he had drawn ont all the money on de-
post; that he was ruined; that he did not
know what to do and that he would probably
commit suicide. Second attachment was
Issued at the instance Of the Chemical Am
mOniate and Oil company. The company
delivered to LaWtOn prOmisOry notes of the
value Of $780, 600 IN trust to discount and
hold the proceeds for the company's benefit.
In addition he received s. 900 in money. He
discounted the notes, kept the proceeds and
also retained the money and converted it
TO his own use.
His associates look upon his disappear
ance as part OF a gigantic swindle and be-
ieve that he sailed on one of Wednesdays
steamers. He has q brother in Sussex,
England, and it is supposed that he has
gone there. After drawing out all his bank
accounts he got a boy to help remove four
or five valises, which seemed to be tightly
filed. His credit was high and he was
rated at over 81 10000 by the commercial
agencies.

NEW YORK, March l6.-AbOut forty mem
beIs of the Ladies' German ScheuZenbund
Benefit society, of Newark, engaged IN a
sCrimmage Monday night that was little
short Of d riot. The members are divided
into two factions, one of them led by Mrs.
Annie HilsOn, president, and the other by
Mrs. Annie Smith. The point of division
was as to allow men to become members of
the society, Mrs. HilsOn believing none OF
the ladies lifted for cOrresp Ondlng secretary,
had her faction elect her husband to the pO-
sitiOn. He performed the duties for year,
and when, at the expiration of his term, the
usual complimentary resolutions were
offered, and when some one stepped for
ward to give him gOld-heaGsd cane in
acknowledgement of his services, Mrs. Smith
became excited and warmly denounced him.
She said he had embeZZlsd societies out of
money and was a thief The meeting ad-
lOurned IN confusion, and the next DAY
Mrs. Smith had HiisOn arrested for alleged
embeZZlement. Justice RedeE, who exam
lned the books at HilsOn's request hOnUra-
bly, acquitted him. Monday was the time
for the holding of the next regular meeting.
After these developments before thu ap-
pointed hour Mrs Smith gathered her forces
and went through an election of officers.
W hen the Hli=on party entered the hall,
they f2uud the officers chairs occupied. A
warm struggle ensued 10 the possession of
